REPORT TO COUNCIL

MEMORANDUM
TO: B.R. Kirk DATE: January 19, 199%
City Administrator FILE: 71/93 & 72/93

FROM: Carlos Felip
Director of Planning

SUBJECT: 2342 & 2346 Marpoie Avenue
Rezoning Application 71/93
Development Permit Application 72/93
Planning & Development Committee — January 18, 1994

RECOMMENDATION:

That this application be approved to proceed for rezoning from RS-1 (Large
Lot Residential) te RM-5 (Downtown Apartment Residential), subject to the
conditions contained in the September 13, 1993 report from the Director of
Planning.

BACKGROUND =

This application is for the development of a 9~storey residential
apartment building in the Downtown Apartment Area.

The last proposal reviewed by Council included 46 apartments and 68
parking spaces. A relaxation of the parking requirements by 10 parking spaces
was required. Based on concerns over the shortfall of parking, Council
instructed that the developer hold a Public Information Meeting to inform area
residents of the proposal.

Further revisions to the building design have now been submitted. The
total number of units has been reduced to 40 apartments. As a result of this
change, the provision of 68 parking spaces conform to the City's Bylaw
requirements. The revised drawings are attached tc this report.

As the revised proposal addresses Council's main concern with parking
provision, there is no apparent reason to require that the developer hold a
Public Information Meeting prior to a former Public Hearing. It is therefore
recommended that this project be granted Approval in Principle to proceed
subject to the conditions in the September 13, 1993 report from the Director
of Planning. (attached) ,
